QUOTE (darroy @ Dec 4 2009, 09:18 PM)  it won't happen but maybe paulie malinaggi. he's quick, he'll make pac think and work to get to him, roughly about the same size as floyd though not as strong. still could be good training to prep for floyd, but based on paulie's comments on pac i doubt that invite will be in the mail anytime soon! maybe timothy bradley also. neither guy floyd or pac will find sparring that will be a carbon copy of what they'll face against each other, so its' all about good quality sparring in the gym. This is the first fighter that came to my mind. I also agree with Forbes. Not sure if anyone can truly help but these two should be able to close the gap a little. |

but on a serious note, Roach has mentioned that Amir Khan will be Pac's MAIN sparring partner. Khan's quicnkess and long reach will benefit Pac in sparrring

Khan's quicnkess and long reach will benefit Pac in sparrring I know it's inviting ridicule but I I think Khan will be about the best Manny can get. No-one can replicate Floyd's speed and defensive slkills as it will also be difficult for PBF to find a quick southpaw like Manny, his closest experience being hs fight with Judah. Anyways both these guys careers are so advanced that I wonder how much can be acheived in sparring other than ironing out the kinks and getting each guy prepared mentally and physically. Floyd is Floyd and Manny is Manny, which in this fight is good news for Floyd and bad news for Manny. LOL |

I don't understand the doubt surrounding Manny in this fight. Floyd is unreal, he truly is one of the greatest boxers of this generation and his talent is admirable. But Manny will give him a TOUGH FIGHT, let's face it, i'm not gonna say Floyd is gonna win or Manny is going to win, but it'll be competitive and I think depending on how each fighter can adapt it can go either way. C'mon, Manny is three times the fighter of Castillo in his prime, and Castillo gave Mayweather a handful of problems. Hatton and Judah showed that Mayweather can get rocked, only trouble is those fighters threw 1-2 punches at a time whereas Manny throws in dozens. Not everything is as seems, By the sounds of it, you ppl are expecting Mayweather to cruise to a wide UD like he did vs marquez or baldomir IT AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN

I'm thinking of laying the house on this one. |

QUOTE (SmartyBeardo @ Dec 5 2009, 08:51 AM) Ollie, we've had our differences, and I know you think I'm "nuts" for picking PBF by TKO in 6 or less, but do me a favor and reassure me that you are not actually "thinking of laying the house on this one." The reason I pick Floyd the way I do is because of how dangerous Pacman has become. Money will take him out out of necessity, which means it could conceivably go the other way. Dude I'm laying the house on a straight Money win. To try and make this fight sound competitive is lame. Floyd by wide UD and my house gets that conservatory it deserves. LOL I just can't see PBF having ANY problems in this one. |

QUOTE (the ollie reed fan club @ Dec 5 2009, 09:00 AM) I just can't see PBF having ANY problems in this one. So there is no way Pac could hit him with a solid shot and hurt him? I mean I too think mayweather should be able to outbox him and win. But damn Pac has been hurting guys with his speed and power, and when was the last time Floyd fought a tough buzzsaw like Manny? I just would not be as crazy confident as you are. |
